and for those in North Dakota $433,6O
making a total for the south, when all
debts are paid, Of 81, O29,s $40, and for the
north $6sl,1s7.
Now how long does any northern ad-
yocate Of n grand and glorious state
want this thing to continue of the North
paying $4,000 a year more than her
share of the taxes while the south re.
ceives $1e9 900 more than her share Of
the benefits?
Mr.. Potter said the first conclusion ar
rived at by a person who had never
studied the question was that two states
would cost more than one, on the prin.
ciple that two houses cost more than
one. 1t was not true as to states. He
showed by official statistics that the
small state was. the most economical,
for the reason that the people + en-
abled to watch over the acts Of their
legislatures, and for the further reason
that more taxpayers attend conventions
in small states, thus preventing the pol.
itieians, with their paper proxies, from
putting. bad men into Office. 1t was not
the double set of officers that cost mon.
ey; it is the extravaganza Of the legisla-
lures. The cost of a set Of state officers
does not exceed two-tenths of a mill on
the dollar Of the assessed valuation.
Referring again to the inequality be.
tween North and South Dakota, the
speaker said "The south has got the
power and they'll keep it. Go in as one
state, and the south will make no truce
with the north, but will take everything
including the capitol. This would go
to South Dakota without a doubt, by
the aid of Central Dakota. The south,
notwithstanding, wants division. They
want economical government there as
bad as we want it here. They have
enough institutions there that the north
has paid for and are anxious to dissolve
the partnership. Each section would
have 75,600 square miles if the territory
is divided more square miles than
Iowa has got; more than Illinois has
got; more than Michigan has got; OF
Ohio, Indiana, New York, Pennsylvania
more than eleven Of the little Atlantic
coast states put together, and those
eleven little states have twenty-five
United States senators to make federal
laws for them. The time has come
when the west must have greater rep
resentation IN the upper house of con-
gross. Dakota could have four senators
instead Of two if the people would vote
for division and stay by the principles
underlying the division question. The
constitution does not give congress the
right to Cypress us |; it does not give it
the right to say that we shall not deter
mine what is best for our interests.
The speaker did not care what the
politics of these four United State sena-
tors might be. He was certain that
they would l~egislate for their people, or
they would be returned.
If because Dakota had given Repub'
lican majoritles in the past, tho Dem
ocratic statesman was opposed to two
states, then he (the speaker) could no,
justify the position of the Democrat on
any other ground than that he was more
of a partizan than q patriot.
Mr.. Potter's remarks we're frequently
interrupted by applause. He made g
splendid impression and awoke a deer
interest on the question at issue.

WHITE MARCH
The wedding of Mr.. Winfield S.
White formerly of this city and Miss
Sarah March, of LeMars, Iowa, took
place at the latter place on Tuesday
Oct. II, 1887. The following is an
extract from lengthy account of the
event published in The LeMars Sen
final
Married, Oct. 18th, 1887, at the resi-
dence of John March Esq, LeMars,
Iowa, Mr.. W. S. White of South Sioux
City, Iowa, and Miss Sara March, of
LeMars: Elder Whitfield officiating.
The home of the brides parents was
made brilliant by the illumination, the
decorations the bright and happy faces,
and the occasion which seemed to bring
the highest pleasure to a very large
company of friends. The evening was
one continued round of enjoyment.
There was a long list of valuable
presents among which was an elegant
plano from father March, complete
household furniture from mother March
a $50 check from brother John and
Others gifts of excellent taste and real
value. The groom was for long time
an assistant in the LeMars post office
and the people of this city knows of
his high standing as a gentleman and
business man. He is the cashier and
one of the owners of the Bank of South
Sioux City and one for whom the
future has much in store. The bride
has grown up in LeMars; she is.highly
accomplished in music, painting and
other requirements and is a worthy
prize fairly won away from the many
gallants of this city. They are now
east on visit to friends. After a
week they will settle down in their
new home and identify themselves
with the highest and best interest OF
the coming Nebraska City.
The happy young couple have spent
the past week at the home of the
groom's mother, Mrs. 5. White in
Mineral Point.
